Yes it does provide it after the initial rev match. I overstated my point.

I was trying to provide a contrast between downshifting before you even start braking thereby relying on mostly engine braking for that first initial speed reduction on one hand and using the brakes to slow your speed and then downshifting on the other. I think people were lumping those two scenarios into one and contrasting it with shifting into neutral and using only brakes to slow down.
